A major aspect of our Sunday morning is our Sunday School and Adult Classes hour, which is from 9:30am-10:30am. We offer Sunday School and Adult Classes year-round, with the exception of a few Sundays per year, which will be noted on the home page. For child safety, all nursery workers and children’s teachers are vetted and trained. For additional safety, we have security cameras placed throughout the building.
Below are our current Sunday School and Adult Classes offerings for Fall 2024:
Nursery
During the Sunday School hour, we do offer a nursery for newborns to children three-years-old and under. However, parents are also welcome to bring their children with them to the class they attend.
Elementary
Currently, we have two classrooms available for Preschool-age children through fifth grade:
4 year-olds through Second Grade
Third through Fourth Grades
These classes follow Great Commission Publication’s Bible curriculum.
Middle School
Our Fifth Grade-Eighth Grade class operates more like a Bible study with much more discussion between the teachers and the students. This summer, the Middle Schoolers are studying the book of 1 Peter.
High School
We do not currently offer an exclusive High School Sunday School class, and instead we ask that the High Schoolers join an Adult Class. It is great to have them join in with the adults!
For our Adult Classes, we generally have three classes available for Adults to attend each semester: a Bible Class, a Christian Life Class, and a College Class.
Coming up for the Fall (Aug. 25-Dec. 15), we will have the following offerings:
College Class: The Sermon on the Mount
Teachers: Bill Reynolds & Kyle Strom
In the first book of the New Testament, Matthew opens by presenting Jesus as the Messiah of the Hebrew Bible: one like Moses who fulfills God's covenant promises to Abraham and David. Immediately after this introduction, Jesus inaugurated His ministry with the message: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." What follows, The Sermon on the Mount, is a fascinating explanation of what He means by this pithy news. Join us as we explore who Jesus was inviting into the kingdom, what this kingdom looks like, and consider His invitation to us today.
Breakfast is served every Sunday morning. While geared for students of VT, RU, and NRCC, we love to have a few older adults attend the class as well. Contact Kyle or Bill if interested.Bible Class: The Book of Hebrews
Teachers: Doug Bowman, Tom Gardner, & David Poteet
No other book in the New Testament integrates the gospel with the Old Testament better than the book of Hebrews. In this book, the author shows us how Christ is better than the prophets, angels, Moses, and the Levitical priests. Indeed, all the ceremonies, sacrifices, and offices of the Old Testament pointed God's people forward to the person and work of Jesus Christ--who has fulfilled them all. And therefore, the author says that when we rest in the grace of Christ who has done all that we cannot do, we can run the race of this life with faithfulness and perseverance. This class is a great class for visitors to attend!
Christian Life Class: Narnia: A Gospel-Shaped World
Teacher: Taylor Rollo
In this class, we will take a look at the world that C. S. Lewis imagined in Narnia, how it took shape in his mind, how it mirrors the gospel story and the Christian life, and highlights from each book. The class will take two or three weeks on each of the seven books in the series, so if you are interested in attending this class, now would be a great time to start reading! Reading each book will not be a requirement for the class, but you will get a lot more out of the discussions if you have read the books recently. See Pastor Rollo if you have questions.
Adult Classes
On our YouTube Channel, we also have some additional materials, which were prepared as at-home video lessons during COVID lockdowns (each about 20-30 minutes) and may still be helpful to you:
